In 2.5.x if you don't know the opposite name, you may just use:
Style "*Evolution*" !Sticky

I suppose you mean the difference is only stipples. If no, explain.

I think "Fvwm*" pattern is too vague. You may just list all 3-10 modules
that you use in separate lines. I myself use some modules that should be
Sticky and some that should be Slippery, some NoTitle and some Title,
some CirculateSkip and some CirculateHit and so on, so "Fvwm*" is not
really good for me. Maybe in the future the planned "Style (Class Fvwm*)"
will be implemented, so your window will not even match it.
As for your problem. If you issue RecaptureWindow on Evolution, does your
window is still sticky? If yes, your Style lines define it to be Sticky,
fix this by verifying the Style list again and using FvwmIdent. If after
Recapture the window is not Sticky anymore, this means that the initial
name of the window matches some pattern that is configured to be Sticky
and it is probably not "*Evolution*".
If you run 2.5.x I would think about a possibility that Evolution uses
EWMH sticky hint, but you run 2.4.15. It is possible hovewer that it sets
GNOME sticky hint. Try:
Style "*Evolution*" GNOMEIgnoreHints # EWMHIgnoreStateHints
But you say in your another message that it sometimes is not sticky,
so it probably this has nothing to do with hints.
